Costco.

technically, I didn't buy it. A family member did... in order to earn miles, split between 3 different airline credit cards. ended up making about $7,000 due to the price of gold going up at time.

Later in the week, it was examined and tested by two gold dealers and found to be exactly what it was... well... gold.

I didn't even know that gold dealers used x-ray machines to test for gold.

Picked up a new (to me) rum. I like it.

Moving to 5G+. Update my SE 2nd Gen to 3rd Gen

Vinnrox250 · 01-27-2024, 06:18 PM

Got a new pair of Oak’s. 😎

Sutro Titanium.

Buug959 · 01-27-2024, 06:19 PM

I just upgraded my phone as well. I went with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I also bought a rugged looking, waterproof, dust proof, dirt proof, snow proof, shockproof and drop proof case. (Phew, that's a mouthful.) I'm not gonna lie, it was a struggle to get the phone jammed into that case. We'll see if it lives up to it's packaging hype.

Gonna upgrade one day... when my current phone decides to take a dump.

The sim card reader in my old phone shit the bed at about 8am Thursday morning necessitating the upgrade. It was a long day of begging and borrowing other's phones followed by a long evening shopping for and setting up the new phone.

NS is great ... and doesn't require a front plate either.

Not sure what you mean about "all those raccoons" though. Sure we have raccoons but they're everywhere.

We get raccoons in the back yard every once in a while. My favorites are the family of squirrels that live back there. They are highly entertaining. Silly little acrobats is what they are. They fly through the air from tree to tree.

Buug959 · 01-27-2024, 09:39 PM

I have friendly little squirrels that I feed right on my deck. I even built them a little picnic table. They're great fun to watch. I've had some that would take walnuts right from my hand.
This one I called Nut. If you look close you can see that he has filled his water dish with pine cones. That's one of the reasons for his name.

That looks pretty cool!

Have you ever seen them 'sploot?' Pretty funny. They almost look dead. They do it when they get too hot. Common here when we get our 100F+ summer temps.

I've seen raccoons do that when it's hot. Especially mother raccoons who are nursing. We have a concrete retaining wall out back and they will lay out on that with their legs hanging down.

And speaking of raccoons, this was shot out my living room windows a few years back.

M_Six · 01-27-2024, 10:22 PM

And here's Mama Raccoon cooling off on the concrete wall.

Yes I've seen them do that. Contrary to popular southern US belief, it does get that hot here although not near as often as it does down south.
